Bounce! Rockland's Grand Opening Will Benefit Four Local Charities

By NYMetroParents Staff October 19, 2011

Bounce! Trampoline Sports, a new sports facility in Rockland County, has planned a Grand Opening Celebration from which it will donate 100 percent of proceeds to four local charities.

Bounce! Trampoline Sports has scheduled a Grand Opening Celebration for Saturday, November 5. The event, titled "Jump for Joy: The Joy of Giving", will be a fundraising opportunity for several of the area's most worthy non-profit organizations:

The grand opening, scheduled from 10am-4pm on November 5, will offer individuals a chance to experience the new facility with 100% of the proceeds being donated to the four area groups. Those wishing to participate can register at the Bounce website by clicking on the "RSVP Now" link where they can select the charity they wish to jump for on that day. The cost for this special event is $10 per person per half hour of jump time.

As an added incentive, a big fan of trampoline sports has generously agreed to match dollar for dollar the amount raised that day, up to $5,000. The non-profit organizations will split the bonus based on the percentage of people who sign up to jump for their charity.

"We are very excited to introduce Bounce! to the local area and with this fundraiser we have the potential to donate more than $20,000 to worthy organizations," states Danny Fried, co-creator of Bounce!

Bounce! offers the opportunity to play sports, have fun and get fit on enormous courts of interconnected trampolines. According to Fried jumping on trampolines is one of the best physical workouts ever devised. It has been proven to tone muscles, burn fat, and reduce stress. The facility will offer fitness classes for all ages and levels, open jump time, trampoline dodgeball, slam dunk basketball, foam pit jumping, and both individual and group trampoline training classes by qualified instructors. The unique complex also has private party rooms for birthday parties and corporate team building, a wi-fi lounge, a healthy-food-only snack bar and an arcade. There is also a separate Bounce! Jr. Zone where kids ages 7 and under can bounce on their own trampolines, jump into a separate foam pit or play on a giant inflatable.

While the fundraising event will take place from 10am-4pm on November 5 -- the official opening date for Bounce! -- it will remain open through midnight as it launches its regular Friday and Saturday night schedule. At 4:00 co-creators Danny Fried and Michael Gross will present checks to each of the charities and Clarkstown Supervisor Alexander Gromack will be on hand to celebrate the Grand Opening and ribbon cutting.
